Top 2020 Democratic contenders slammed the decision to take out Iran's top commander General Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in Baghdad on Thursday night, saying the attack will likely lead to escalation.Sen. Elizabeth Warren called Soleimani "a murderer," but also added that "this reckless move escalates the situation with Iran and increases the likelihood of more deaths and new Middle East conflict.
Vice President Joe Biden, who leads the Democratic field in national polling averages, said Soleimani "deserved to be brought to justice for his crimes against American troops and thousands of innocents throughout the region," but added that the decision to kill him "is a hugely escalatory move in an already dangerous region."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren echoed Biden's concerns. She called Soleimani "a murderer," but added that "this reckless move escalates the situation with Iran and increases the likelihood of more deaths and new Middle East conflict."
